Last year I got into sending mail via postcards and letters. I ran a postcard club where I mailed postcards to people who signed up. In February I participated in International Correspondence Month (InCoWriMo). In April I did another month long event called Write On. Through the rest of the year I did my bestRead more

Last Friday I talked about how I did with my goals for 2017. I was pretty pleased with the progress I made. This week, let’s look at the goals I’m setting for 2018. Health We started here last year, so let’s do that again this year. I mentioned last week that I need to findRead more

When I sat down and wrote out my goals for 2017, I had no idea what the year would bring me. I had an idea, but in reality I knew all of it was probably going to change. I always feel like I have to keep things constantly in the air and to be readyRead more

It was a crazy November this year. This NaNoWriMo was probably my most productive ever. Yes, I did hit the 50,000 word goal, but that’s not really a challenge for me. Today I’m going to reflect on the goals I set for myself in November, how they evolved, and what comes next. I had threeRead more

In a few days it will be January. I am, again, changing things up on the blog. Each month there will be a different adventure. It could be NaNoWriMo, getting published, knitting, or Wikipedia. The Monday posts will all be focused on that adventure. I am planning each month’s adventure a head of time. InRead more

It was a crazy year. I like to focus on the good things here.. or at least the things I can learn from. I like to think about what I actually achieved during a calendar year. I am really good with planning and visioning what is going to happen, but I never really stop andRead more

I think the one advice almost every author has given is that you need to write every day. The idea, from the way I understand it, is that by writing every day we make progress and move forward. It is making writing a habit and routine rather than another obligation we need to find timeRead more

There is one life goal on my list that is being re-evaluated, but not to decide if it has to be removed, but to see if it needs to be evolved: health. Of all my life goals, this one is not very specific in language, but in the details it is. The life goal isRead more
